Got an 08 Silverado - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NONHOG · 03-18-2008, 08:24 AM

Actually my wife did ! I was in Portland hanging out with my boy, watching his Lacrosse clinics and while I was gone the 94 Volvo got traded for this.

She kept me in contact the whole way so it was not a surprise .
I'll get some better pictures later. Now I have to decide rather to keep my truck and turn it into my project or sell it and buy a "muscle car project"
Tough call !

Nice lookin truck. I really like the headlight setup. What size motor and wheels?

1LoC10 · 03-18-2008, 06:05 PM

looks good... is it a 4.3?

NONHOG · 03-18-2008, 07:11 PM

Yep 4.3, not sure what size tires/wheels ? It was such a good deal we can live with rubber floor matts and roll up windows. For a plain jane it does have some nice features CD, fold down center console, Onstar.
I have yet to drive it, was tired of driving yesterday . I'll drive it to work tomorrow. Needs dropped real bad maybe 6" ? That Zero % interest makes for some pretty low payments !

Zumo · 03-18-2008, 07:53 PM

Nice. I like that color.

Yeah, I figure the deal will start getting goo again as the gas prices keep rising.

1LoC10 · 03-18-2008, 09:04 PM

i know the wheels are 17's not sure about tires... i have been looking at those plain jains shortbeds too... but looking for a 4.8 one

A 4.3L W/T reg cab shortbed.... I bet you got that sucker REAL cheap!!! I wish I didn't have the need for an ext. cab, I'd much prefer a reg cab truck.

Looks great! That's my favorite "new" GM truck color.

Leinie · 03-19-2008, 02:03 AM

That looks like the same color as my neighbors. I sure like the blacked out grill and bumpers on yours much better than the chrome on his.

Neighbor across the alley also has a work truck with the chrome front parked facing our house and I swear that thing is gonna blind me.

72BlckButy · 03-19-2008, 11:08 PM

Nice buy, plus the wife picked it out... way to go!

NONHOG · 03-19-2008, 11:30 PM

Its at Line X right now getting over the rail, I would prefer under the rail for looks but its going to be used .
heres some after pictures that hasn't happened yet.

Not yet still looking at options... Seems as if its spendy to lower this puppy!
I could do it myself but then I'd have to tow it to an alignment shop.
Not sure its worth it ? Might just pay the big bucks at the dealer to have it done then if something goes wacky its not on me . Not to mention my shop is not done yet

If I sell the 70 I'll do it for sure. If I don't it will have to wait just do to the building and such going on around the house.

I am daydreaming about Vette style rallyes in 17" with cop caps and no trim rings don't know if they fit these years ?

jkaylor68gmc · 03-28-2008, 09:50 PM

nice, I like a plain jane work truck. Simple, the way they use to be.

NONHOG · 03-30-2008, 07:25 AM

Update 16 mpg (around town) 1 st tank

may take it to Napavine on Sunday and check freeway mileage . 120 miles round trip.

**Palf70Step** · 04-08-2008, 07:39 PM

I know I'm slow, but nice truck nonhog. I've been looking at some with the 4.3 myself. Is yours a stick or automatic?
